This is the Canadian version, The Darn Easy.
It goes nicely with the mending wool I recently acquired. And darn easy it is. I was able to darn my sock in about 5 nanoseconds and that includes me having to look back at the directions the whole time. Way easier (and cheaper) than running to target to get a new pair.
And it looks super neat and tidy. I just need to figure out exactly how to tie off the ends so that they look just as neat.
And have I ever mentioned that darning is a good skill for me to have?
My toes eat hosiery for breakfast.
I think I am going to be getting a lot of use out of my new gizmo and doing a lot more darning. Why did we stop darning in the first place?

Oh, awesome! It is exactly the same device as mine. I love the sassy rebranding.
I too have sock-devouring toes! Glad to see I'm not the only one.
there's something for you on my blog :)
Jealous-I love that you were able to darn socks-It's crazy how many things we end up throwing out.

I too have purchased one of these little looms, I am interested if anyone has made anything with the darner other than using it for darning socks. I noticed on your blog that instructions for a cushion was with the Canadian version of this little gadget It would be interesting to have other comments as to its possible other uses within the textile theme.
Anonymous, I have yet to do anything besides darning with mine. I think you could make anything you wanted with it given a little knowledge of weaving techniques. You would need to find a way to secure the one side of the piece and you would need to be comfortable weaving 2in x 2in at a time! But I think it is a great idea!
